• 9:15 pm: Fill up my car with gas on Miami Beach on the way to the hotel (because we were on E. I paid $2.28 / gallon, which stunk, but then Sarah said, “It still beats $4/gallon.” Nice.)
• 9:30 pm: Arrive at our hotel on Miami Beach that they are putting us up in for the conference.
• 10 pm: Take a short walk by the beach and pool and begin debriefing the day with Sarah, cause she’s so awesome.
• 10:53 pm: Call the front desk to ask how to connect to the wireless so I can blog about my day

• 11:22 pm: Let my wife proof this blog.
• 11:30 pm: Go to bed because we have to be up at 6:00 am so my wife can workout and we can start day 2 of the conference. (I think I’m one of the Table Leaders, whatever that means…)

Other than that, not much happened today… I guess,

Except for what God spoke to my heart while I was SOAPing on the plane at 35,000 feet, which rocked my face off too.

By the way, the word God dropped in my heart was from 2 Peter 3:9 “God isn’t late.”

How appropriate!

Good night,
